IRS990ScheduleF/Form990ScheduleFPartV/Explanation0PROJECTS ARE FUNDED BY SOWHOPE USING THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE: SOWHOPE UTILIZES A FUNDING SRATEGY THAT IS SUMMED UP AS "LOCAL LEADERS USING LOCAL SOLUTIONS TO SOLVE LOCAL PROBLEMS." WE RECEIVE REQUESTS FOR PROPOSAL ON AN INVITATIONAL BASIS FROM LOCAL LEADERS WHO ALREADY HAVE A REPUTATION FOR SACRIFICIALLY HELPING WOMEN. ONCE A LOCAL LEADER HAS BEEN FUNDED THEY BECOME A SOWHOPE PARTNER. A THREE PAGE APPLICATION INCLUDING CONTACT INFORMATION, A DESCRIPTION OF PAST OUTCOMES WHICH HAVE HELPED WOMEN, A REQUEST FOR FUNDING FOR A PROJECT HELPING WOMEN IN ONE OF OUR THREE PROGRAM AREAS (WELLNESS, EDUCATION, OR ECONOMIC) THAT IS TIME-LIMITED, MEASURABLE, AND OUTCOME BASED IS REQUIRED. APPLICATIONS ARE RECEIVED EITHER THROUGH EMAIL, USPS, OR BY HAND DELIVERY. THE APPLICATIONS ARE PROCESSED BY THE SOWHOPE PROGRAM TEAM, WHICH REVIEWS EACH APPLICATION USING A RUBRIC. APPLICATIONS ARE SCORED AND PLACED ON A PRIORITY LIST AND ARE FUNDED ONCE FUNDING HAS BEEN SECURED. THERE ARE TWO FUNDING CYCLES PER YEAR. AN APPLICATION IS EITHER FUNDED DURING THE NEXT CYCLE, PUT ON HOLD TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THE NEXT FUNDING CYCLE, OR DEACTIVATED. IF THE PROJECT IS NOT FUNDED WITHIN ONE OF TWO CONSECUTIVE FUNDING CYCLES, IT IS CONSIDERED DEACTIVATED AND MUST BE RESUBMITTED FOR CONSIDERATION. WHEN A PROJECT IS ACCEPTED FOR FUNDING A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING OUTLINING THE OBJECTIVES, THE PREDICTED OUTCOMES, AND FUNDING OF THE PROJECT IS AGREED UPON AND SIGNED BY SOWHOPE AND THE PARTNER.
